Reasons for lack of wars. How to fix.

[Kolin]

So, people complain about how the times of massive clan wars are finished all the time. I miss those days as well and feel their is a simple solution to at least get some more battles going on.

The problem is people scope the realms either ooc or with other chars. If realms are safe leave and relog in. Everyone does it. I do it. Solve this by making it illegal for any clanned person to log in just after logging out with the same IP. This way if you are too scared to take the risk of logging in as your clan char you are forced to play your other one. Serves you right if it turns out all your friendlies are on.

Lets discuss.

it is illegal, and immortals have been punishing for it, or were a couple months ago

[Lizzy]

Or maybe rules could be made that there are to be a certain number of clan wars per week, and members are to participate so many times, or else find themselves kicked out of leadership roles, or clans.

[panda]

could be nice if there were 10 clanned in all cabals but for now it won't be so fun for poor under-manned ones 

[Lizzy]

Yes, like the poor Tree Huggers. I have only ever seen 3 members, 1 who is there majority of times, the leader - Valeria and another Jauno I think that's his name. THere was another, but I have not seen him since - when I saw him last time.

Of course, the evil dudes have members grrrrrrr lol

But I am sure some rules could be introduced, and some form of punishments.

As for logging in, looking around with other chars and staying or leaving - I do that but for other purposes. And lots of times, when I have just logged in, looked around - and about to play, I have to leave or I get interrupted for a few minutes. So, if I log in, SEE an evil close by, and I am interrupted by family matters, of course I will log off to deal with the situation. I am not about to let my char sit there and be - attacked - while I am dealing with things.

Though, I do see it a good thing to maybe not allow you to log out for 10 minutes once you have logged in. There is another MUD world somewhere (can't remember which one) that has the time lock on your chars. Then you are unable to log back in immediately. I think you have about 10 - 15 minutes, or more, before you can log back in with another char. It is a good idea, but for me, could be troublesome. But I am sure I could work around it.

Good thinking for trying to get clans going.

Treehugers? Sounds cute... instead of that it should sound more hmm... dangerous...
But when you want to pull my tongue out... Somebody in imm team is very fond of takhisis clan... they got mortal leader with lightspeed, wenz ranked to cardinal with only rank of 28 etc etc(i got only one rank despite fact that one of first clanned, sacrificed golden pendant and other nice eq to return sapling). In the same time diversions to Ironwood, like for example no mortal leader (it is hard to get interview...), half of applications rejected or people simply gave up because nobody interviewed them... sigh. Someone should be attendant, no matter who, so at least someone can induct...
 
this was my note of departure with all that explained (for archives)

Defenders of Nature,
In my short but exciting life, there were too many deaths.
In order to protect sapling sometimes fought with no chances to win.
Always waiting for reinforcements and looking with great hopes
to new applications incoming to Tree.
I remeber Daros and Sethalarons applications and some more even,
but it seems it is hard to please gods with skills and be inducted.
while Takhisis cabal grows every day in numbers.
Maybe the power of Nature is so great, so Gods think we should have no more than three member...
But i dont have time for speculating, because my life force is spent.
It is time when wise minotaurs realise that their strength is in receding,
and time to decide when to leave and resign so young, faster hunters may come.
My path is now leading to calmness and piece, restoration of my life force and final rest.
Many battles awaits you, and i hope one day you will show that my deaths were having some purpose.
Farewell, and stay wild in heart...
*wolf paws lead down from Tree and disappear in night...*

Is entropy closed? I have seen 0.

[Kolin]

Yes, seems for any cabals success a mortal leader is key. Inductions are too slow otherwise. That still doesn't change the fact that before Tith joined Cobar Malachi was facing droves of Takhisis almost everyday. Tith grows to hero and Cobar presence in realms is unchallenged. This is why i say some rules should be in place. The only one i am aware of at the moment is you are not able to log in and out with your clanned player. For an allotted amount of time.

Is entropy closed? I have seen 0.

Yes it is. Only chaotic cabal at the moment is Cobar.

[Moon_Face]

Maybe wizlock game for 30 minutes for people, who just left it?
Without second ip a man will have to wait for logging with another char.

[Kolin]

Only problem with that is you cannot relog in same character.

[Triumph]

I think the main cause of lack of clan battles is lack of wars between the clans. I think everyone is at war with takhisis, and nobody else is at war with each other. Only tower vs. heretics, but no heretics anymore. (cobar at war with guardians, but they don't have members)

Someone needs to start some wars.

[Kolin]

What you describe is balance of power theory. It happened in Europe often through history. When one cabal becomes so powerful the weaker ones only chance of survival is to band together and stamp it out. When this happens another strong cabal emerges and the cycle repeats.

Rarely do you see more than 3 clans with large memberships waring with all.

[Proph]

Takhisis and tower are not at war. that would really throw some spice into the mix....

[Rialon]

I doubt it, as there is only one Tower member i see in realms often.
